Well, what makes it weird is that license plates are on a national database, right? So one would think they would standardize the laws on whether or not a plate follows the car or the person... because clearly, the current setup must lead to plenty of confusion when trying to actually catch someone on the lam. (E.g. in WA they would have never given me those parking tickets, because I completed the seller's report on time, and that would have popped up on any record in the state... but in PA apparently that fact did not pop up in any step of giving "me" the ticket or sending it all the way back to WA state). Anyway, just seems like a highly inefficient system, especially if our gov't is supposed to be all about national security.
